April 14, 201015 yr Pierre is the Sox leadoff hitter and you don't make drastic changes 10 games into the season.

His role has to be diminished. Pierre is still a lifetime .300 hitter with a career .335 OBP. That means over 600 ABs he will get one base 200 times. Its been 6 games and his first stint in the AL, be patient we will need him if we are going to win.

April 14, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 06:01 PM) Kotsay hurts the lineup less than Pierre. kotsay cant put us in scoring position if he gets a single....pierre has speed and takes alot of pitches. If you put Kotsay at leadoff he's going to get out just as much as pierre has if not more

April 15, 201015 yr I like it. Although I'd probably add Buehrle as the DH because of that HR he hit last year, and then maybe call up lilibridge to put in at catcher so we can get some more speed since he's faster than AJ

April 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 05:01 PM) Kotsay hurts the lineup less than Pierre. In the long run, he probably hurts them more.
April 15, 201015 yr Pierre will normalize and be a ~300/330 or so hitter. Kotsay is likely to be much worse.

The biggest reason that Pierre has a seemingly guaranteed spot in the lineup is because they're obligated to pay him $8M over the next 2 years.

April 15, 201015 yr I was and still am surprised at the lack of support for Pierre. He's not the ideal lead-off guy, but he is a career .300 hitter, and he's got speed.

April 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) So far I haven't seen Pierre's speed really affect or change any games. He got us a run in the first game of the season, but after that? Of course you must get on base first in order to utilize that speed right?
